Nah.
We might end up back at cave dwellers with cancers that kills us at 30, but we'll maintain a local presence.
A filter doesn't prevent life on earth continuing, it just stops it contaminating outter space.
Cancer never killed people young in relevant quantities, that is a big reason why we never evolved to get rid of it to begin with: We already have old kids by the time it causes trouble. The same way getting another set of teeth never evolved. Or generally getting far older.
I think he meant the environment will be so polluted and radioactive that cancer will be more common at younger ages
